POLITICAL.


Senator Palmer, Of Michigan, says he is
not anxious for q second term. He would
much prefer to devote his attention 10
breeding fine stock on his farm near De-
troit.
President Cleveland RENTED 5000 to
the New York State Democratic commit
tee, VI 900 10 the city committee and &, 900
to the Ohio State Democratic committee.
And yet some people pretend to doubt that
he is Democrat.
Senator Blair's seizure Of a seat on the
Democratic side of the Senate is held by
some TO be pregnant with important re-
suits Tor the educational bill. The success
OF bill often depends on whether or not
Its sponsor has good seat.
Senator Henderson says that in the west
the Democrats are free traders and the Re-
publicans are protectionists. lie is wrong
Tho Democrats are revenue reiormers, and
so are great many Republicans, incud-
ing the editor OF the Chicago Tribune and
me solid congressional delegation from
Minnesota.
Although the expenses of the postal
service, as shown by the report OF the
third assistant postmaster general, have
been over -, 100000 in excess OF the re-
ceipts, II is certain that the greatly in
creased volume Of business resulting from
reduction of the postage rate will eventu-
ally wipe out this difference. The postal
service is for the benefit Of the people. II
Is not a business enterprise to make money,
but a great social agent in completing the
work OF civilization.

special Dispatch TO the Appeal.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, Dec. 5.-Morrillton,
Conway county, this State, is in the midst
oil contest over the introduction of liquor
in that city. Morrillton is the largest town
on the Little Rock & Fort Smith
railroad, and has prospered greatly
since the abolition OF grog shops three
years ago. Last week the anti-prohibi-
iionists circulated q petition to the county
Judge and secured a majority of adult sig
natures within the corporate limits
TO license the sale of intoxcants. The
petition was presented TO his honor and
permission given the applicants This
morning the prohibitionists enjoined the
court against issuing the license
and Just what course events will take can
not now be told. The contest will I'M
doubleday be one Of the bitterest Of liquor
nights that ever transpired on Arkansas soil,
and the ultimate success OF either party will
be watched by people throughout the
state, as almost every town in Arkansas
has debarred whisky, and all feel that the
success OF the issue in Morrillton for either
party will have its weight in other places
now dry.

THE Presidents message TO the new Con
gress, to be presented today, will be un.
like all other documents Of this nature, in
the respect that il will be devoted entirely
to the discussion of single subject the
tariff. Mr.. Cleveland will refer Congress
10 the reports Of the various Cabinet Off
GERS for information ms TO administrative
business. 1t is highly croditable to the
wisdom Of the President that he should
have adopted this method OF emphasizing
the Importance OF the question of tariff
reformation. II means that he purposes
to use the whole moral force of his Office
TO bring about definite action in the matter
OF the tariff by Congress this winter. lie

Democrats 10 enter another campaign with
the confession that tariff reform has failed
because Of lack Of unity in the Demo
cratic party. Mr.. Randall must bend or

informed an APPRAL man Of the most
horrible death OF q negro boy named
Calvin Anderson, on the farm OF Mr..
